Pleiger Product Spotlight: Leg Pocket Fillers
Pleiger's Leg Pocket Foam Fillers fill the cavities around the hydraulic legs of longwall roof supports. This area continuously gets clogged with coal or debris creating unnecessary downtime.  They help protect the hydraulic leg cylinders from undue stresses caused from the build-up of material in the leg pocket area.  

Benefits of the Plei-Tech Leg Pocket Filler
• Reduces downtime
• Plei-Tech material fills the entire pocket around the leg
• Prevents coal and other debris from filling the pocket
• Greatly reduces the time and manpower to clean the pocket
• Plei-Tech Leg Pocket Filler will conform to any shield height
• Compresses when shield is low
• Rebounds to fill cavity when shield is raised
